Mr. Incredible

The system was composed of two tension ropes, a figurine, a weight and two stands.

The two ropes were attached to the figurine at angles of 45 and 35 degrees. The figurine was at the bottom with a weight of .2Kg attached.

Using trigonometry I found the horizontal and vertical force of the two diagonal tensions. By creating an equation with the two opposing fores of the vertical and horizontal tensions I was able to calculate the tension of Mr incredible and the force of the weight. I subtracted the force of the weight from the equation, and divided by 9.8 to get the weight of Mr. Incredible, which was 195 grams 0r .195 Kg.
